The DOORS – ” Live at the Isle Of Wight Festival ” 1970 Remastered DVD

Doors fans will have a belated opportunity to revisit one of the later chapters in the band’s history with singer JimMorrison in early 2018, with the release of an audio and video package capturing the group’s performance at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.

Scheduled for a February. 23rd release , the sensibly titled The Doors: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 will be available on CD/DVD, CD/Blu-ray or digital format, and offers “completely recut and remixed” footage from what turned out to be the band’s final filmed show with Morrison. Held on August. 30th, 1970, in the midst of Morrison’s obscenity trial, it found the Doors falling back on the music that brought them together at a time when outside factors were on the verge of tearing them apart.

“Our set was subdued but very intense,” recalled organist Ray Manzarek. “We played with a controlled fury and Jim was in fine vocal form. He sang for all he was worth, but moved nary a muscle. Dionysus had been shackled.”

In addition to a new 5.1 Dolby mix supervised by longtime Doors associate Bruce Botnick, The Doors: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 boasts a new 17-minute documentary, titled This Is the End,

This is the last known unseen performance of The Doors in existence. The show has been completely remixed and recut and restored using the latest technology, from grain-reduction to color-correction techniques from the original footage. The DVD includes a bonus featurette “This Is The End” 17 minutes of interviews conducted by the film’s original director, Academy Award-winning Murray Lerner with Krieger, Densmore, and original Doors manager Bill Siddons. Additional archival interview footage with Manzarek from 2002 is also included in the featurette.

Well, I'm dyslexic so writing about something I love: Music, might help but it's most likely just full of mistakes. That title is also lyrics from The Drones song called I Don't Want To Change. Oh, my name is William and thanks for having a look.
